Australia Talent Trends

The shocking result of Brexit and the drawn out Australian Federal Election campaign has caused nervousness among Australian employees.

With Australia bucking the global trend of increasing job-hunting activity and intent to stay increasing nearly two per cent in Q2, it’s fair to say Australian employees don’t plan on jumping ship any time soon.

However, effort levels have been declining since January 2016 and employers should be wary of employees quitting in their seat.

With engagement on a continued downward slope and people management now the number one driver of attrition, organisations must put management capabilities and performance management under the microscope if they are to understand why effort levels are fading, and get them back on track.
